Any news from Texas sources ever come out on why Houston decommitted??

Article below says Texas started showing less interest....

From NEWSOK ....

https://newsok.com/article/5617855/high-school-football-millwood-star-demariyon-houstons-recruitment-remains-up-in-the-air

Millwood star receiver De'Mariyon Houston was set on signing with Texas on Wednesday to open the early National Signing Day.

He had taken several promotional photos, had visits with the coaches and been to campus. But something changed in the last few weeks.

Texas' interest waned.

Despite being committed since early July, Houston was discouraged. It was time to start over in the recruiting process. One of the state's top recruits re-entered the market.

“It was like they found somebody else or something and they were really trying to push him off,” Millwood athletic director Shannon Hayes said. “He felt like they didn't want him anymore.”

D.Houston decommitted on Dec 3rd and reopened his recruitment, and was thought to be a flip to Oklahoma.  But according to a recent OKNews article,  D.Houston has not been in contact with Oklahoma or Ok State.....

UPDATE:  Per other posters.... 9.95er's have stated that D.Houston's senior film was not very good.  Went back and checked, and found D.Houston committed to Texas in early July 2018.  Speculation on another board is that "Houston was processed. Plain and simple. It happens all the time. Basically told you no longer have a spot... Its done several ways. You just tell them, or you stop contact, etc etc. The recruit gets the idea and just decommits."  Recruiting is a tough business, no doubt. 

I checked current commitments for some B12 & other Teams that previously contacted D.Houston, and it appears that:  Minn, Tenn,  Mizzu, OkSt, Tech, Kansas, Colorado and possibly Baylor all might still have room to recruit D.Houston.

My personal opinion is that with CJ/LJH possibly returning, plus other surprises ( WR transfer, Higgins or Bru),   Texas no longer had a spot for D.Houston.

Just saw this on NSD2.....

Nebraska’s already put together a top 20 class, and it’s in position to add a pair of four-star players on National Day. The Huskers are in a head-to-head battle with Kansas for four-star Dallas-area defensive end Steven Parker, and they’re the favorite to land four-star Oklahoma City wide receiver Demariyon Houston. Reel in both and Scott Frost would cement a top 20 class.

Wonder how long until Kansas is the new Kansas State.

Nebraska seems like a great opportunity for him..... they need more speed at the skill positions.  Also academics should be less difficult there too.

Academics? You realize that the classes they're taking are probably not much easier than the average football player at UT takes, right?

Granted, the degree at Texas certainly means more.

Buddy of mine recently attended Nebraska and claimed football players had much easier paths to graduation there..... so that's my assumption here.
